Problems on linux(ubuntu 16.10) - cannot run the game

Post by azn »

Hello, I'm trying to run Unreal on Ubuntu 16.10, on Samsung RV515 laptop(just wanted to check is it going to be playable on this machine).

Firstly it was complaining about some SDL libs but installing it for the i386 architecture did the job.

Now, when I try to run the game I get this:

Code: Select all

alzen@alz-samsung:/mnt/barak/Gry/windows_installs/UnrealGold/System$ ./UnrealLinux.bin 
Processors / Cores 2
Forcing CPU affinity disabled.


History: 

Exiting due to error
I see no error message so I do not even know what's wrong. I do not know where is the log file as well. I only see black screen for a while and after a while it goes back to the desktop.

EDIT:

Silly me, found the log file in System dir, UnrealLinux.bin.log. The only thing I see wrong is:

Code: Select all

Warning: Failed to load 'Class ALAudio.ALAudioSubsystem': Failed to find object 'Class ALAudio.ALAudioSubsystem'
Warning: 
Critical: appError called:
Critical: 
Exit: Executing UObject::StaticShutdownAfterError
Exit: Executing USDLClient::ShutdownAfterError
Exit: UOpenGLRenderDevice::ShutdownAfterError
Log: appRequestExit(1) 
Log: Log file closed, Tue Jan 17 22:41:45 2017
Tried to change audio subsystem to fmod but it didn't help.

Anyone?

to verify it's sound only issue you can try to run it with -nosound parameter. Then often log is cut off, so perhaps append -log, so you'll see everything what's there directly in the console.
Should look like this: ./UnrealLinux.bin -nosound -log

If using 227i then ALAudio is also bound to FMod3 for music output and since happening with fmod too there is probably the cause, you may want to check if your system has fmod3 installed and if not it should be in the convenience libs which are in the help directory. Copy libfmod.so to your system directory (not sure anymore, maybe it was libfmod3.so or something and needs a symlink to libfmod.so)

Code: Select all

ldd *.so | grep "not found"
will reveal missing or broken dependencies if executed in the system folder.

Hello, the -nosound option works fine so I was able to check that my laptop is much too little powerful to run U1 properly, I mean, it works ok but not as smooth as I expected it to run.

Anyway, thank you all for help.
